We took a trip to the flea market today and found lots of goodies. I bought 2 of these cheap, gold frames and they were 25 % off. We stopped by the hardware store and got more spray paint, dover white. I don't know why I only buy one at a time !

Step 1: Prime with Kilz and paint ( I used dover white)

Step 2: Staple fabric to the back of frame. I used the same silk that I made my roman shades with.

I decided to make this a necklace holder about this time so I had to find some way to attach hooks to it. I wish I could remember where I saw this so I could link to it but I have no idea :( Oh yeah, and I didn't want to make another trip out so I had to find some way to "make it work".

Step 3: Cut boards the width of the frame minus 1/2" each side.

Step 4: Attach boards to the back of frame with 3/4" brads and a few staples.

Step 5: I used tenter hooks because that's what I had on hand and staggered them across the frame.

Step 6: Hot glue a sawtooth hanger on the back.

I hung it in my bedroom and filled it up really quickly. It holds about 16 necklaces and I have a lot more so I will be finishing the second one exactly the same way and hanging it beside this one. The top looked empty so I stuck a tassel on it..............

Hey, thanks for stopping by my blog! This is funny because I have a mirror with that frame that I found at the Goodwill! I was just thinking I wish that I had another frame like that to put a mirror in! Aww Dang!
